I think you're putting too much stock in "being rewarded with a playoff game".
Getting into the playoffs from a weak division then getting destroyed really isn't going to make all of the other owners in other leagues green with envy and make them quit.
If you are getting beat on in a strong division, then you'd just get beat on in the playoffs, so I'm not seeing how that matters. Just consider the last three games of the season the playoffs to decide which team from your division gets to move on.
The Drunks would be in the hunt if we were in one of the other two divisions but we are enjoying the challenge! They are forcing us to improve. We'll get 'em next season.

Clearly league balance is a non issue to almost everyone else in glb so forget everything I've mentioned. I can't wait to see those 6 win teams make the playoffs year after year. Too bad my imaginary team I own is so bad at losing. :/
I agree it can be frustrating when the divisions are unbalanced...but that is the way the NFL is too..
As a Texans fan - I had years and years in Peyton Manning's shadow - that sucked having no chance at the playoffs...especially back when the NFC west was awful....
Same thing for the jets/dolphins/bills having to be in the Patriots division...(or in the old days with the Astros in division with the cardinals).
It is a bummer - but it exists in every professional sport - so logically it will exist here too.
Even if they tried to re-seed the divisions every year - there would be problems as teams gutted / went inactive / got new coordinators / etc.
Originally posted by Xavori You mean kinda how they completely reworked how college football was because creating a haves-have not's dichotomy has inherent weaknesses and how they're moving to a more open playoff system because it'll be vastly more profitable?
So you are saying the best team doesn't win the playoffs in GLB2? The reason the college format is being changed is because there generally is a lot of confusion as to whether the winner of the title game was the best. That isn't the case whatsoever in GLB2.
p.s. As for Oberon and my team (Lost Lounge, btw) playing for the wild card. It's math at this point. Djibouti 2.0 will beat the elves at which point they'll have 12 wins. Both the Lounge and DADDY could win all three remaining games and only get to 11 wins. I'm pretty sure we're playing for the wild card.
That wasn't your point though. You said that looking at DD at the beginning of the season we should just gut. Which is like the most lol absurd thing I have ever heard.
